This isn't a list just for blind people however, it is a list for everyone. I do know there are indeed a few blind people reading this list too, long time RH'ers. In the end people will do as they wish, generally with complete disregard for any advice or rationalization from the other side, so it's really quite a moot point. Personally, I look at reply-on-top messages less than others, and often (but not always) just hit DEL. In particular when people write me directly for something, and reply quoting my entire email, and leaving only a couple of lines on top, I usually just hit DEL and cancel the communication. Unless of course it is something incredibly important or to my own benefit or similar. YMMV -- Mike A. Harris ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris OS Systems Engineer XFree86 maintainer Red Hat Inc.
